Graduate Policy and Research Officer
(full time, permanent)
This is a great opportunity for a Graduate Policy and Research Officer to join our small but highly effective team. Reporting to our Policy Manager, you will join a busy policy team and develop your skills as you contribute to a wide range of communications consumer policy initiatives and support the delivery of the ACCAN Independent Grants Program.
Your interest and knowledge in communications issues, as well as excellent analytical and stakeholder liaison skills, will be the key to your success in this role. Your capacity to apply strategic thinking about how to engage with key issues will ensure that ACCAN remains dynamic and responsive to emerging consumer issues in the communications sector. You are committed to consumer rights and have a passion for social justice and fair markets.
You should have relevant tertiary qualifications or equivalent experience in a communications policy role. Applicants with an economic background (particularly behavioural economics or political economy) are encouraged to apply, but other disciplines are also valued. Previous work experience is not required, but would support your application.
